First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, executable by a vehicle computing system (VCS), comprising:
- determining that a connection between a wireless device and a VCS has been lost;
upon a lost link detection, determining if a driver is present in the vehicle; and
conditional upon a determination that a driver is not present, waiting until an enter-event occurs and then attempting to re-establish a connection between the wireless device and the VCS.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, executable by a vehicle computing system (VCS), includes determining that a connection between a wireless device and a VCS has been lost. The method further includes determining if a driver is present in the vehicle, upon a lost link detection. The method additionally includes waiting until an enter-event occurs and then attempting to re-establish a connection between the wireless device and the VCS. This last step may be conditional upon a determination that a driver is not present.

9. A computer readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a vehicle computing system (VCS), cause the vehicle computing system to perform the method comprising:
-
determining that a connection between a wireless device and a VCS has been lost; upon a lost link detection, determining if a driver is present in the vehicle; and conditional upon a determination that a driver is not present, waiting until an enter-event occurs and then attempting to re-establish a connection between the wireless device and the VCS. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method, executable by a vehicle computing system (VCS), comprising:
-
detecting that a vehicle transmission is in a park state; determining if a connectable device, not currently connected to the VCS, is present within a detection range; detecting an exit-event; detecting a connection loss between a first connected device and the VCS; and conditional on the determination that the connectable device is present within the detection range, once the exit-event and the connection loss have been detected, transferring a connection to the connectable device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
